9. Funerals
٩۔ كِتَابُ الْجَنَائِزِ
[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed over a funeral, made four takbeers (saying "Allahu Akbar" four times), and made the tasleem (saying "Assalamu Alaikum" at the end of the prayer). It was narrated that Ata' ibn As-Sa'ib reported that the Prophet ﷺ gave salaam to the funeral with one tasleem.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَّى عَلَى جِنَازَةٍ فَكَبَّرَ عَلَيْهَا أَرْبَعًا وَسَلَّمَ تَسْلِيمَةً وَرُوِّينَا عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ مُرْسَلًا أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ سَلَّمَ عَلَى الْجِنَازَةِ تَسْلِيمَةً وَاحِدَةً
[Machine] I prayed behind Ali Ibn Abi Talib at the funeral of Yazid Ibn Mukaffaf, and I made the Takbeer four times and sent one Salutation.
صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ؓ عَلَى جِنَازَةِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ مُكَفَّفٍ فَكَبَّرَ عَلَيْهِ أَرْبَعًا وَسَلَّمَ وَاحِدَةً
تَسْلِيمَةٌ يَعْنِي فِي الْجِنَازَةِ
“He took my head or the hair of my head and made me stand on his right side”. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 611)
عَنْ يَمِينِهِ
[Machine] He used to greet the funeral with a proper greeting.
أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُسَلِّمُ عَلَى الْجِنَازَةِ تَسْلِيمَةً
[Machine] I saw Wathila bin Al-Asqa, the companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , give his final salutation to the funeral procession. We also narrated it from Jaabir bin Abdullah, Anas bin Malik, Abu Umamah bin Sahl bin Hunaif, and others.
رَأَيْتُ وَاثِلَةَ بْنَ الْأَسْقَعِ ؓ صَاحِبَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يُسَلِّمُ عَلَى الْجِنَازَةِ تَسْلِيمَةً وَرُوِّينَاهُ أَيْضًا عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ وَأَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ وَأَبِي أُمَامَةَ بْنِ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ وَغَيْرِهِمْ
